As a manager in IT I have to have my phone on 24x7 for escalations and I hate it. On the occurrences that I take a real vacation and can turn my phone off, something in my head flips and I can truly forget about it. When it is on, there is something subconscious that will not quite let go and I can feel it.
I feel I would benefit greatly from being able to truly turn my phone off one day a week.
- icebraining 9y agoAre you really the only person it can be escalated to? What happens if you're sick, or your phone breaks, or whatever?
- liberte82 9y agoWould go up to the senior manager, or whoever else my team can get ahold of. During vacations I have another manager cover for me. There's always options, but it's expected that I be first point of contact.
- coldpie 9y agoI hope you get compensated well for this. I would not put up with those conditions.
